We are pleased to announce that The Old Shoreditch Station will be hosting the launch party for Supermarket Sarah’s first book ‘Wonder Walls’
Wonder Walls by Sarah Bagner, better known as ‘Supermarket Sarah’ shows you how to embrace everything you own and show it off on your walls – after all – you are your stuff! Whatever your taste, it’s about celebrating the beautiful, the eccentric, the simple.
In this book, Sarah encourages readers to believe in their own styles and ideas. Here Sarah travels around Tokyo, the UK and Sweden, offering up inspiration and variety as she illustrates novel ways in which people use their own walls to display themselves and their ‘treasures.’ She visits the home and studios of designers and collectors, viewing the displays of minimalists and hoarders. The walls range from the quirky to the romantic, from vintage to brand new. Whatever is displayed, and however it is displayed, everything has a meaning for its owner.
After graduating from art college, Sarah Bagner worked as a creative in advertising for several years before moving into styling and selling her vintage wares in London’s Portobello Market. She set up www.supermarketsarah.com in 2009, where she sells and displays all her items on walls. Users simply click and buy. Sarah’s walls spread into public spaces: bars, galleries, shop fronts, and a pop-up store in Selfridges, London’s premier department store. The site and blog have become a platform for young talent and have been featured in a wide range of media including the Guardian, Evening Standard, Sunday Time Style, British Vogue, Elle Decoration, French Elle, Japanese Elle and the BBC News.
Sarah also puts on events and installations, often collaborating with top designers, including Donna Wilson, Tom Dixon, Fred Butler, Patternity, Bethan Wood, Tatty Devine, and Jaguar Shoes Collective
